Question:

I have a great solution for a rack that works with the rails on your Retrax XR tonneau cover on your 2018 Ford F-150. Unfortunately, the Track Mount RLTP Legs for Rhino-Rack RTC- and RT-Style Roof Rack Tracks - 2" Tall # RLTP-2 will not fit the Retrax XR rails. However, Rhino-Rack does make legs that are designed to fit the Retrax XR rails. Those are the Rhino-Rack Quick Mount Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - RTC and RT Roof Rack Tracks # RRRLT600. Sadly, with these legs, you will not be able to use Euro bars like the # Rhino-Rack Euro Bar Crossbars - Steel - Black - 59" # RREB150B. For great crossbars that do work with the # RRRLT600 legs, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero crossbars. We do sell the legs and the crossbars as a kit. That is the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System for Retrax XR Series Tonneau Covers - Black - 71" Long # RRVA180B-RRRLT600. With this system, you will have a 220 pound maximum weight capacity. You also get the benefit of having built-in c-channels on top of each bar that lets you mount Rhino-Rack accessories and carriers. If you have an idea of what cargo/accessories to transport, feel free to respond to this answer and I will assist you in finding the best products we have.

I went ahead and contacted Rhino-Rack, and they confirmed that the engineered fit they have is for the 71-inch crossbars. Although, they did confirm that the 65 inch aero crossbars would technically work, but the length will be super close to interfering with the feet. With that being said, Rhino-Rack recommends going with the 71-inch bars. If you do decide to go with the 65-inch bars, the complete system is the # RRVA165B-RRRLT600.
